  • Performance Changes Caused by Increases in Camden Libraries’ Opening Hours
    PERFORMANCE CHANGES CAUSED BY INCREASES IN CAMDEN LIBRARIES’ OPENING HOURS In January 2009, Camden Council increased the opening hours of its public libraries. However, it did not increase the opening hours by a constant number or a constant proportion, but by a method which favoured bigger libraries. CPLUG had argued strenuously against this, but to no avail. CPLUG’s Concerns The suggested reason for increasing Camden’s library opening hours was that it would enable more people to visit the libraries. CPLUG did not disagree with this assumption and attempted to ensure that the available resources were allocated where they would do the most good, rather than where was most bureaucratically convenient. This “value for money” argument went unheeded. One of CPLUG’s major concerns was the effect that a large allocation of resources to the Swiss Cottage Library (library no. 3 in map below) would have on the surrounding smaller libraries. In the recent past, this library has benefited when other libraries have not. Thus, the public increasingly has tended to use Swiss Cottage in place of the local libraries. It is to be expected that this cannibalisation of the user pool will lead to a continually reinforced downward spiral for the small libraries and is a recipe for eventual library closures - very bad news for those who have difficulty travelling. It is also bad for community cohesion and for the environment. It is tempting to assume that the cost of implementing the opening hours changes is simply proportional to the change in those hours. However, the size of the library has a marked affect on the cost.

  • Delivered at No Cost to Taxpayers
    A CLEANER, GREENER, SAFER CAMDEN Camden Conservatives Local election manifesto 3rd May 2018 Delivered at no — cost 1 — to taxpayers OUR PLAN FOR A CLEANER, GREENER, SAFER CAMDEN On 3rd May, local residents go to the polls to elect your local councillors and you get to decide who stands up for you. Camden is a wonderfully diverse and open community: cosmopolitan, vibrant, and forward- looking. We also cherish our past, our cultural heritage, and our history. It is this combination that makes Camden such a unique borough. Camden Conservatives reflect that diversity, with citizens of twelve different countries serving as councillors and standing as candidates: from France to Finland, and Bangladesh to Jamaica. For me — as a British-Italian man who grew up in the US and has lived in Italy, France, and Luxembourg — choosing to move to Camden over 20 years ago was a surprisingly simple decision. You may choose to vote out of lifelong loyalty to a Few other places across the world can match our particular party. You may choose to cast a protest borough’s culture and character. vote on national issues.

I am delighted that this year’s theme is “the spoken word.” As a linguist myself I place great value on the use and importance of language. The activities this year cover a wide range of different forms including rap, writing, song, film and performing arts. These events involve many local groups and organisations, ranging from the Roundhouse to Nostalgie Ya Mboka, a local Congolese radio station. Although I only became Leader following the local elections in May, I have been a Camden Councillor in West Hampstead for over 12 years and have the pleasure of working with many of the groups and organisations taking part in Black History Month. I am really pleased that the events cover the length and breadth of the borough, as well as catering for many different tastes and interests, and that most are free or low cost.
